Emergency puncture repair (TMK)*

General
Emergency puncture repair (TMK; Temporary
1
Mobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture and
check and adjust tyre pressure. It consists of
a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid.
The kit works as a temporary repair. The seal-
ing fluid bottle must be replaced before its
expiration date and after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage.
Connect the compressor to one of the car's
12 V sockets. Choose the socket that is near-
est to the punctured tyre.
IMPORTANT
If the compressor for emergency puncture
repair is connected to one of the two sock-
ets in the tunnel console, see page 246, no
other current consumer must be con-
nected to the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
Location of the emergency puncture
repair kit
Set up the warning triangle (see page 345) if a
tyre is being sealed in a trafficked location.
The emergency puncture repair kit is located
under the floor in the cargo area.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has
been used. Volvo recommends that you
visit an authorised Volvo workshop for
inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum
driving distance is 200 km). The staff there
can determine whether or not the tyre can
be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
